    Abstract: Regional conflicts have played a major role in American interpretations of Soviet foreign policy. They have affected judgments about Soviet intentions and have served as a barometer of Moscow's competitiveness. This study looks at the change in Soviet policy under Gorbachev. It proposes a strategic framework for the analysis of Soviet behavior and then examines Moscow's actions in terms of military support, active involvement, and the terms for peace. Special attention is paid to Soviet behavior in Southwest Asia. The study finds that Soviet behavior changed but in ways that were more subtle than often realized. Moscow pulled back having achieved partial success through compromise more often than it retreated in defeat. The shift to a strategy of detente had numerous causes, but a simple American peace-through-strength explanation that stresses external constraints and Soviet internal weakness is inadequate. Such explanations underestimate the importance of changing perceptions of threat and mistakenly affirm a deterrence conception of reciprocity (i.e., that force begets restraint). The evidence in regional conflicts suggests that a spiral model of reciprocity (i.e., that escalation begets escalation) is more apt.

    Abstract: Die Fortschritte der Medizin werfen ethische Fragen auf, die sich nicht durch allgemeine Prinzipien entscheiden lassen. Mit fortschreitenden Diagnosemöglichkeiten scheinen sich zugleich die Kriterien zur Unterscheidung von Leben und Tod zu verschieben, ebenso wie die perinatale Medizin den moralischen Status eines Fötus immer weiter vorzuverlagern scheint. Dies macht die Beantwortung ethischer Fragen, sobald sie sich praktisch stellen, zu einem äußerst komplexen Problem.
